Our partner who provides this guidance is PhilanthroCorp, a distinguished, Christ-centered estate planning firm with uncompromising principles and wisdom, both firmly grounded in Scripture.

asset-based GivinG. increase your joy in GivinG this christmas.

Giving has several profound effects, one of which is the joy that comes when giving a gift away. Christmas is a season to give and remember the greatest gift we can ever receive, the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. At SpringHill, we are privileged to share that message with kids and teens every year. Your giving to SpringHill enables us to continue this critical mission. Consider giving an appreciated asset of stock, real estate, or business interests this year. The tax savings can be incredible and you can give more to your favorite charities without impacting your cash flow!

to come to camp next year.

Prior to coming to camp my faith in God was completely shaken. At camp my life was changed. I can’t stop smiling and I’m ready for God to be in control and glorified in everything I do.– Erica, summer camper

At camp I learned how God has an amazing plan for me.– Nessa, summer camper

After campfire one night I recommitted my life to Christ… and it was the best feeling ever. – Luke, summer camper

At camp you can learn and do fun stuff at the same time! Every activity we did we found Bible verses, stories and examples that would relate to our own walk with Christ.– Victoria, summer camper

a letter from the preSidentI’m convinced that SpringHill had its largest and one of its most impactful years of ministry in our history because of ministry allies like you. I make this statement because,

after 15 years of being a part of SpringHill, it’s crystal clear to me that there is a inseparable relationship between the depth and number of people who pray, endorse and give of their time, talents and financial resources to SpringHill and our ability to reach more kids for Christ. Thank you for being a part of SpringHill and the historic year of ministry we’ve just experienced.

Have a blessed Christmas season,

MIChAEl PErry President, SpringHill Camps
